Man carrying assault weapon attends Obama protest

[Zachstar]

It is not these small balled people that concern me. They just want to be in the news and are in no way a danger to the president.

What I am concerned about is some nutjob that uses the attention given to the gun trotter to try to do something harmful. The attention given to the trotter took away attention from other potential hazards.

And you gun lovers ought to be chastising this guy. If something were to happen do you realize that the video of these people packing will be used in a massive political attack against the second amendment in state and federal governments?

Yeah like Doolittles raid provoked the Japanese to attack at Midway.

"change" is growing imminent.

the silent majority is awakening and is no longer silent.

everything that is wrong with America has been authorized by congress... and most of us are realizing that.

he promised change

and i think it is coming soon... very soon.

we must remember, Revolution is sometimes a necessary thing

Well, if the right wingers want to keep up with the left wingers, they better hurry up.

After all the panic and BS that was talked and reported about right wing extremists, the FBI put an American on its Most Wanted Terrorist List.

Now, in the wake of the Janet Napolitano’s Department of Homeland Security warning Americans to beware of pro-life veterans’ potential terrorist tendencies, the FBI puts its first domestic terrorist on its Most Wanted Terrorists list – with, among others, Osama bin Laden, the founder of Egyptian Islamic Jihad, and the first American to be charged with treason since 1952.

Well, and guess what his politcal alignment happens to be?

And this terrorist happens to be a radical left-wing eco-terrorist.

Have you ever faced an M1 national guard tank?

I will say the same thing I say to all the nuts in my opinion who dream of armed revolution. The British had crappy muskets. (Even going as far as gutting a group of breechloading riflemen a design that refined could have won the war) The National Guard has tanks to fight against nutjobs thinking they are "liberating" the populace.

There is no such thing as revolution. This is NOT the colonial era.

BTW your posts gives ammo to anti-gun nuts in my opinion. Just saying.

[GoldenRivet]

zach,

take my post however you will.

i have not injected my opinion.

I only pointed out the growing section of society which is dissatisfied with congress.

i didnt say "armed revolution"

i just said revolution...

in a democracy such as our own, revolution comes in the form of ballots... not "crappy muzzle loaders".

I'm not delusional. i said nothing about fighting anyone... nor did i once mention tanks, or guns.

i dropped the "R" word - and your psyche ran to thoughts of fighting against tanks.

viva la revolution! vote in 2010

I have always liked this quote:


This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or exercise their revolutionary right to overthrow it.


Care to guess who said it?

Lincoln. Which was loosely ironic.

Its called Hysteria. If something bad happens it makes it easier for the nuts on either side to pass insane laws.

Case in point the laws after 9/11.

None of those armed citizens were in any way threatening or aggressive. If simple lawful possession is enough to cause hysteria then they're gonna do what they're gonna do anyways whether people carry firearms in the vicinity of public officials or not. Better to let them get hysterical and maybe overplay their hand than slowly squeeze the RKBA out of us.

[Zachstar]

The thugs diddn't "overplay" their hand when they rammed through the Patriot Act at record speed through congress.

Never NEVER underestimate what hysteria can do to a populace. Failure to understand that ended up with insane laws and insane policies enacted before. (And no not just in the Bush years)

Of course hopefully the worst that will come of this is every little balled copycat will want to come packing to show what a so called badass second amendment defender he/she is.

By "thugs" you must mean the majority of Congressional Democrats who voted for the act right?

[1480]

My two sheckles on this whole thing: the rifle is being used as a "sign." Nothing more nothing less. Kind of like PETA with their enlarged photos depicting an act of cattle slaughter. Wont faze some but may shock others. He wasn't breaking any municipal, state or federal laws that I am aware of. As to what his message was, not sure, but I have a hard time of interpreting "modern" art too.

I'm still waiting for an American to cite an instance where the Patriot Act directly affected them and violated their civil rights.

The Patriot Act has turned into the biggest leftist straw man argument in history.
